Amazon’s book monopsony is valuable, but it also comes at significant reputational cost
Does it really? Except maybe from defunct book publishers and ebook publishers that get on the wrong side of KDP's inscrutable approval process. Even DOJ sided with them in 2012.
- cafard 8y agoMy wife worked for a publisher that had terms dictated to it by Amazon. Since then, we have not bought through Amazon. I got the hairy eyeball for ordering a $10-book through Alibris, and had to explain that I was not aware that Amazon had purchased it.
